I retrofit old phone-based intercoms with software-only solution: https://www.DropBy.io a bit above $500/month ARR, stable and sticky. Started a few years ago, now have 2 other partners.

Your pricing page seems to have no prices on it and your sign up page doesn't load for me.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The product is an "API to generate images on the fly". How would you create an API with no backend?

One barrier is if you load an image from a source that doesn't allow CORS the canvas becomes "tainted" and exports are blocked (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/CORS_enabl...)

Upon initial login I'm definitely impressed by the interface, the existing content, and the potential to finally brush up on my Japanese. I ended up linking to my Google account, but I spent a long while trying to "sign up" with my email only to be given an message about failing to meet the password requirements (no mention of character limit and no special characters allowed).

This is strange; I don't really have any special password requirements. What's the exact error message you were getting? The only requirements are that it's at least 6 characters long and different than your username, and in each case it should tell you exactly what's wrong.

I made a background noise website and app https://asoftmurmur.com There are a lot of improvements I want to make, but due to life commitments it has been stuck in maintenance mode for far longer than I'm comfortable with

I used your app constantly before I picked up Sonos speakers and had to restort to Spotify playlists!

We removed pricing, one reseller wanted that out. But good point, I think we should add it again and be transparent since his business is good but not good enough to do so.

Thanks a bunch for the feedback!
